当地时间13日，英国产品测试与认证机构天祥集团（Intertek）发布声明称，在多次以估值过低为由拒绝前期报价后，该公司目前倾向于接受瑞典私募股权公司殷拓集团（EQT）提出的94亿英镑（约合127.2亿美元）收购要约。
根据最新提出的收购方案，殷拓集团将向天祥集团股东支付每股60英镑的现金，并派发1.1英镑的年度股息。这一报价较4月15日（即殷拓集团首次公开收购意向的前一日）的收盘价溢价约40%。
天祥集团指出，为配合殷拓集团开展确认性尽职调查，目前已暂停其内部的战略评估工作。据悉，该项战略评估此前旨在探讨将集团分拆为两家独立企业的可行性。
天祥集团同时强调，目前尚无法确保双方最终能达成实质性收购。根据相关监管规定，殷拓集团必须在6月11日前宣布确定的正式收购意向，或者宣布放弃收购计划。
